14 Quotes by Randy Waldrum

This is a year for Lauren to settle in and show consistency. She has the tools to be a top college 'keeper. She is strong at shot-stopping and in her reaction time, is good handling the ball with her feet and vocal organizing things in front of her. We expect her to be a future starter and I think you will see a good year from her in 2005.

Amanda will be a star to reckon with as her college career goes on and I hope she has a chance with the Under-20 National Team. She can score in a variety of ways and is so crafty on the ball, with different moves and the ability to turn opponents inside and out. We are trying to encourage her to be more selfish with her own chances, as that should boost her goal total while also opening things up for the entire offense.

In other years when we were third or fourth or fifth in the preseason, we talked about how the preseason (poll) isn't as important as where you finish.

Claire made big improvements from her freshman to sophomore years and provides the hard-nosed defense that we look for in that holding midfielder spot. She is very eager to get back on the field and we fully expect her to be an important piece of the puzzle again this season.

The last two years, I thought we had the talent and chemistry to win the championship. We got knocked out early in 2003, but we were able to get it done last year. This year, if we stay healthy, I think we've got a great shot at being there at the end again.
